Abstract
A method and apparatus for location-based access control applies a location-based identifier to a document, wherein the location-based identifier indicates an original storage location of the document. The original storage location is an authorized node having access privileges specific to the document. In response to the document being moved or copied, an access control engine compares a current location of the document to the original storage location and denies access when there is a discrepancy. When the document is moved consistent with an access control policy, such as when an administrator moves the document, an original storage location identifier is changed consistent with a new location. The document is only accessible when accessed from an authorized location. The locations may be referred to as access nodes, wherein each access node corresponds to a folder.
